Peep Show just takes a little getting used to, after that you'll love it. Also check out Look Around You, Brass Eye, 'Allo 'Allo, Trigger Happy TV, Green Wing, Mighty Boosh, Shameless, Teachers, Extras, Black Books, Garth Marenghis Dark Place ... there's loads of awesome British Comedy. Not so much American (seriously, Arrested Development, Scrubs, and a few cartoons that get stretched to an unbelievable quantity of episodes. What else do you have though? Very little innovation or progression.)

Nah, if you had said Little Britain takes a bit of getting used to yeah, but Peep show just isn't very funny...
Allo Allo is antient, they're actually doing a rerun on the national telly...I thought it was funny when I was 5...not so much now...
I preffer the cheaky bastard sort of comedies a la "Blackadder" or " The new statesman" ( Rick Mayall is a fucking genious! )
